“Art for Art’s Shake” third edition is carrying on the contamination of the city areas and in 2008 it has consistently chosen to exhibit at Prendiparte Tower – a place full of history since it was an old Medieval fortalice differently used over the past centuries. The historical value of this place has urged us to play with the concept of time through the works of seven artists. They have been asked to investigate the meaning of time and approach the exhibition area with specific-site works. Although the architectonic structure develops vertically, the images of time coming out of this research and their mutual interaction do not give the idea of a linear development, a progression but, on the contrary, they suggest the idea of a stratified time, consisting of pieces and knots. Sometimes time passes quickly and sometimes slowly.

Basilicata Art Factory Project

This is a plan originated in 2006 and is being carried on by five Associations which are not only creative but also excellent organizers, such as Opera Prima (the Committee which promotes the Contemporary Art Museum in Basilicata), Orfeo Hotel contemporary art project (Contemporary art projects, photography, performances, public art and specific-site works of art), Cartoons (Audio-video expressions, comics and digital art), La Luna al Guinzaglio (Workshops, children’s theatre and exhibitions), Feedback-tragitti sonori (Contemporary and electronic music).By means of a valid synergy between these five associations Art Factory is planning to create an identity which will be productive on the Lucanian territory and at the very same time active on an international level. This will be realized in a place where art can be offered, planned and produced for the public through creative workshops and the theatre, literature, design, music, cinema and contemporary art events.
